To be effective, here is a clear illustration why the air foil on that Plymouth (in the post above this one) is as high as it is...

Albeit not a TT chart, here is a similar one for the Porsche 911 models up to 3.3 Turbo...

Silly as they may appear, appendages as such surely would not exist if only for manufacturers to save costs. Even though they may look rather unneeded, especially at mandated US speeds, rear spoilers most certainly play a very significant aerodynamic role at higher speeds on some cars. Let us not forget the original…

A well articulated comment from a responder (re: a Ruf CTR, originally) re: Singer vs. Walker. Sentiment shared by many serious in-the-know Porsche people:

It’s not a shame. For, with all due respect to Mr. Walker, if you really study them, and/or ever to see his cars in person vs. those from Singer and Ruf, albeit all interesting, his are on opposite side of the spectrum, no doubt. More in RWB corner, not Singer’s or Ruf’s, IMHO.

It’s not painted black. It is but a wrap. The actual color of the car is red. The same red as you see on accents, mirrors and the wing.

Why bother Rob when you can still contact Mr. Alois Ruf directly, by dialing 011+49 8265 911 911, or writting to RUF Automobile GmbH, Mindelheimerstr 21, 87772 Pfaffenhousen , Germany, and ask him to build you a CTR Yellowbird replica. Think he is the BEST qualified to do so. Don’t you?

By ‘Eagle’ Speedster, did you actually mean Gary Ray Engel’s Speedster GR? A pretty spectacular car with many, many trick and one-off parts, including 18” Fuchs-inspired wheels!

They may appear that way in the photo but they are absolutely wonderful in reality.

964 chassis is easier to modify as it’s the first using coil springs, not torsion bars. Also, more straightforward to modify to the ‘73 long hood appearance.

Oh, indeed, that superb handling 912! All it needed was one of these . . .

A solid red car under that matt black wrap, no doubt.

Walking down the 918 production line, the man in charge pointed to a shiny black 918 being assembled. A white painted 918 actually! Apparently, the owner could not decide which one of the two choices he liked more, so wrapping it black was the result . . . BTW, all wraps by P AG are done prior to assembly of body…

There are two caps, one on each side, actually. The left one for FUEL and the right side one hides the POWER plug. Therefore, they are also marked as such.

Albeit original Testarossa got away with this one... That one was in much worse position, almost in the line of sight too. Terrible for tall drivers. One reason the subsequent update did not have the morror in the same place any more. The original ones made nice table lamps, though...

AGREE, at least they are acceptable. But, let us not forget, those were NOT Gordon’s idea. These were. But MOT, the equivalent office to DOT in the US, said “NO WAY”! Oh, well...

YES, albeit Lancia, this 037 would surely have been a better shape for an inspiration, IMHO.

Still _CAN NOT BELIEVE_ Bertone, of all design houses, had anything to do with that one...

Perhaps no bush bar but more light, for certain... 😆

Until one sees this awesome Lamborghini Bravo, IMHO. A better choice, perhaps?
